Mansfield - Dunne
Mansfield - Dunne produces wines from Santa Lucia Highlands, a cool-climate pocket of Monterey County known for its elevation and maritime influence. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir and Syrah, varieties that thrive in the region's diurnal temperature swings. The Cortada Alta Pinot Noir and Cortada Alta Vineyard Syrah anchor the range, with the Peterson Vineyard Pinot Noir completing a focused lineup. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter have rated these releases, reflecting their technical merit. Santa Lucia Highlands' fog-moderated growing season produces wines with the structure and complexity that define the appellation—bright acidity in Pinot Noir, peppery depth in Syrah. Mansfield - Dunne's vineyard selection and winemaking approach yield expressions of these classic cool-climate grapes.
